I Scored a Disco Light for 99.99 Rubles at Pyaterochka's New Year's Sale!

Hello everyone!

I stopped by 'Pyaterochka' today and stumbled upon a New Year's sale. If I'm being honest, the discounts weren't super appealing just a couple of days ago, but now they're over 50% off on many items. My eyes landed on a light fixture I was already planning to buy, and with a 71% discount, I grabbed it without hesitation.

Important note - the discounts only apply if you have a customer card.Price - 99.99 rubles on sale (originally 349.99 rubles)

- on marketplaces, it's listed for around 500-600 rubles (for the exact same light fixture)

Honestly, I wouldn't have bought it for 350 rubles, but for 100 rubles, I won't even think twice if it breaks quickly.

Manufacturer's info: The light is packaged in a red cardboard box with a Christmas tree and snowman on it. The back of the box has all the necessary info. Since the box isn't sealed, you can check out what the light looks like inside at the store. I tried to find one with the least amount of scratches, but I still found plenty at home - although it doesn't affect its performance or effect. The light's construction is all plastic, except for the plug, of course. It works from a plug, kind of like an adapter, and on top there's a transparent plastic sphere that spins when you turn it on. Inside, there are LED lights in blue, green, and red. And because of the sphere's rotation, it creates this disco effect.I was a bit bummed to find that the sphere had some scratches and defects, but they're not super noticeable and don't affect how it works. I also got unlucky with the plastic around the plug - it's coming apart. But I bought this light with the intention of using it for New Year's and maybe getting rid of it if it breaks.

One thing I really like about this lamp is the power button on the body. It means I can leave it plugged in and just flip the switch when I'm not using it, but to be honest, I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable leaving it on all the time. I ended up putting it in a socket with a slight incline, since the one I wanted to use was taken up by my Christmas lights. But it actually looks kind of cool like that. I stuck it in right next to my Christmas tree to create a little New Year's Eve party vibe. And you know, it reminded me of those old-school discos from the 90s - not that I ever actually went to one, but I've got plenty of photos from my parents' parties that I've stuck in an old album. Now I'm actually tempted to break out my old Discoteque Avia CDs and have a dance party. Okay, maybe not that kind of music, but my husband's already been busting out some moves under the light. I think we might actually have a disco-themed New Year's Eve this year. My cat's also been checking out the lamp, but I think she's more interested in the little rainbow bunniesI was a bit worried that the lights would be too scattered, but they actually cover the whole ceiling and wall pretty well. The range is decent, but it depends on where you point it. I haven't checked how it looks from the outside yet, but my floor is pretty high up, so I'm guessing it'll still be visible.

I'd say the purchase was a success!

If you're looking to create a New Year's disco vibe in your place, I'd definitely recommend it!

Thanks for reading, and happy holidays!
